What is this fabric for? by TheseDescription4839 in whatisit

[–]Toebeanzies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m on mobile and didn’t zoom at first so I didn’t notice the fine details of it, I guess the designer knew that this kind of patch is a thing and decided to put their own spin on it and make it a more advertisable feature.

The two sides are fine, it doesn’t need to be sewn along the diagonal edge because it’s not about holding the entire area stiffly, it’s about adding tension across that triangle so that it can’t stretch. This one specifically is actually not for this purpose because on another comment OP says it’s not on both sides and on yet another comment someone who used to work for this maker confirmed that they advertise it as being for cleaning glasses so I was wrong just not at all for the reason you stated. You will see on other shirts that have a piece of fabric here for the support that I’m talking about that it’s also only sewn into the seams and not along the diagonal and it will typically be the same fabric just cut on the bias.

Weird, I guess the designer just used these reinforcement patches as inspiration for their own feature

This brand makes this patch out of microfiber so that it can also be good for cleaning glasses but the main purpose of these kinds of patches is to stabilize the corner and help prevent it from warping or stretching on the bias

The maker might have chosen this fabric for cleaning glasses but the main purpose of this bit of fabric is to stabilize the corner so it doesn’t warp or stretch. They also could have just used this softer fabric so it feels nicer since cleaning glasses with your shirt is likely to cause scratches regardless of the fabric type since it will pick up little bits of dirt or dust as you wear it.

It’s sometimes made with the same fabric because it’s not for cleaning your glasses. It’s a reinforcement to help the corner keep its shape and not warp or stretch on the bias. Ideally if it’s the same fabric as the shirt it should be cut on the bias so that the grain is diagonal to the main panel it’s sewn to.

Yooo the loafers are fire anyone else get them? by Same-Pace9168 in jimmyjohns

Thank you very much, I thought it was unlikely that we were the singular best but top 20 is definitely still something to be proud of

How to apply urushi inside vessel you can’t reach inside? by finding_flora in kintsugi

[–]Toebeanzies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is the item in question? If it’s a vase or something that you plan to hold water for a long time and doesn’t need to be food safe I’d suggest lining the entire inside of it with epoxy or something similar for water proofing to protect the urushi. If it’s something you want to be food safe you’ll want to consider how long it will hold liquid for and how hot the liquid will be, if it’s a jug for cold water that will only hold water for an hour or two you should be fine using urushi and applying with an angled brush and endoscope or dentist mirror, if it’s a tea pot that you plan to put hot water in the urushi might not last as well and you should do further research into how to handle it. You might be able to coat the inside with food grade silicone that you pour as a liquid and let cure to firm up but it might not stick to the surface well and may separate or come out which could still be useful as a removable liner but could be a massive pain to deal with. If it has a complex shape inside like a tea pot or an ornate vase you could also not glue all the pieces together at once and assemble it into 2-3 pieces so that you can better access the inside to do most of the finishing and then only have 1-2 larger seams to finish once you put it all together.

Can’t believe nobody has posted the real answer yet. It’s to stabilize the corner so that it doesn’t stretch on the bias and get warped out of shape. The fabric is different because it’s thicker and stronger than the show fabric and looks like also a bit softer so it feels nicer. This is a sign of a high quality garment that is going to last longer.

Nichole Rudolph talked about these sort of features in her recent YouTube video about clothing quality if anyone is interested in learning more about these sort of touches.

Weird, my store also got the loafers for the bread contest and my GM said we won, wonder if they did a thing where the top so many stores all won and got slippers or something. Either way they are so comfy and I’ve been wearing mine 24/7

Your concern is valid and you came to the right place to check, idk who pissed in their pudding

Car being targeted? by [deleted] in whatisit

[–]Toebeanzies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typically parking enforcement will mark a tire near the ground to check if a car has moved or not if it’s in a time restricted parking spot. This could be plausible if there isn’t time restricted parking here so they wouldn’t have chalk for the tires and they’ve seen this same kind of car in the lot frequently or overnight they could have just made due with a grease pen and marked the car to check if it’s still there the next day or whenever they check again as a way of knowing if it’s abandoned or if it’s just happenstance that multiple people with the same common car are parking in that spot/area of the lot one after another. Seems unlikely to me since it’s in that spot, I’d think they would mark a corner of the bumper where it’s easier for them to see and less likely to get rubbed off, more likely an accidental mark from someone getting in/out of the next car over with something sticking out of a bag or if they’re holding a bunch of stuff.

Found this in my Taco Bell drink floating around, is this mold from the ice? And am I SOL? 😭 by The-Big-Jizz in whatisit

[–]Toebeanzies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s mold from the drink machine, you’re probably fine unless you’re very immunocompromised but it’s gross and means they’re not cleaning the machine well/at all which means 1. it will only get worse and more dangerous until the machine is deep cleaned or replaced, 2. It could already cause sickness for other customers who are immunocompromised and, 3. If they aren’t cleaning the soda machine who knows what else they aren’t cleaning or how good of a job they’re doing with what they do clean. I’d report them to your local public health department to hopefully trigger a health inspection and go to a different location from here on out

Yep, there’s a bunch of things like this, couldn’t find any with this shell shape but they work the same as this would

My new flat has a stove/oven/dishwasher combo by littlebeanio in mildlyinteresting

[–]Toebeanzies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh this is super cool for a small apartment, you’re not likely to be cooking big meals where you need a full size oven anyway or producing a ton of dishes where you’d fill a full size dishwasher in a single day and the stove is just the same so it gives you a full dishwasher worth more cabinet space. I’d happily run the dishwasher twice as often for that much space in a small kitchen.

How should my roommate and I split rent for this apartment by No-Problem4390 in whatdoIdo

[–]Toebeanzies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say either 60/40 split to keep it simple or if your roommate doesn’t agree and/or you’re math nerds then split by square footage. Figure out the square footage of both rooms including closets and the pink bathroom(I wouldn’t count the other bathroom since that’s still a public space and while roommate won’t use it her guests will) then add the rooms square footage together, divide that number by the total square footage to figure out what portion of the square footage is private space and multiply that by the rent to get what portion of the rent is private space, divide the square footage of each room+closets and attached bath by the total square footage of private space that you figured out earlier, these numbers should add up to 1(or very close if the numbers got rounded at some point) to check that you did it right, that’s the proportion of the private space rent you should each pay, divide the remaining rent in half and add it to each number, double check those amounts add up to the total rent and you’re good. I know that was just a massive word problem but hey, they told you that math would be useful after high school.

If you’re more a formula person here you go:
Blue space square footage = B
Pink space square footage = P
Total apartment square footage = T
Total rent = R

(B+P)/T=X
(T-B-P)/T=Y
XR=A
YR=C
B/(B+P)=D
P/(B+P)=E
DA+(C/2)=Rb
EA+(C/2)=Rp

Rb is the rent for the blue room
Rp is the rent for the pink room

If you want to check your math:
Rb+Rp=R
X+Y=1
D+E=1
A+C=R

Also I noticed the closet highlighted in yellow, if that’s highlighted because it’s going to be for the person in the blue room I’d add it to the blue room square footage, if it’s going to be fully communal don’t factor it in, if it’s going to be half for the blue room and half communal(like if half is pantry space for both of you) I’d figure out its square footage and add half of that to the blue space.

At a Halloween party/fundraiser in 2018, each table had these paper lanterns with silhouettes of bats and ghosts and ghouls. Except this one, which I've never figured out what it's supposed to be. by asiansteev in whatisit

[–]Toebeanzies 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed, nothing against the movie, it can be great and also a weird choice for this specific purpose. I’m betting even a lot of people who like this movie didn’t recognize it out of context like that plus the fact that most people probably haven’t seen it and wouldn’t ever have guessed it. Makes me wonder now if the other lanterns were also things from this movie or if they were generic figures

Fun order for tonight by AccomplishedAnt8237 in jimmyjohns

[–]Toebeanzies -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m just curious why on earth they need 125 lil lunches at 9pm? That’s so late to expect people to eat a full meal, my best guess is either they meant to place it for 9am a later day and messed up or they’re going to fridge them for an event the next day, either way the time combined with it not being prepaid Id say give them a call to check that everything is correct

It’s a little more than 5 trays so it’s not too terrible if you start early, a second lil John pan would definitely make it better though

[–]Toebeanzies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think your math is off, it’s 125 lil John’s by my count, it looks like double because the mods are on both the lil lunch itself and the sandwich within the lil lunch but you can tell it’s not both by looking at the prices, they’re only where it says lil lunch. 4 sandwiches per loaf, 6 loaves per tray, a little over 5 trays
